x11-libs/vte-0.11.15-r1 fails to build against modular X. The problem appears to be that automake does not include the path to the freetype headers (-I/usr/include/freetype2). I am guessing that under the monolithic X tree, the freetype include dir is brought in by the X CFLAGS, but not for modular X. I was able to fix the issue by patching src/Makefile.am to directly include -I/usr/include/freetype2, but this is not a proper fix and I don't know the correct autotools way to do this. Here is what I changed: --- /var/tmp/portage/vte-0.11.15-r1/work/vte-0.11.15/src/Makefile.am 2005-07-08 00:41:42.000000000 -0700 +++ /root/vte-0.11.15/src/Makefile.am 2005-11-09 00:29:10.000000000 -0800 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ unitable.JIS0212 \ unitable.KSX1001 -AM_CFLAGS = @VTE_CFLAGS@ @CFLAGS@ @X_CFLAGS@ +AM_CFLAGS = @VTE_CFLAGS@ @CFLAGS@ @X_CFLAGS@ -I/usr/include/freetype2 AM_LDFLAGS = @LDFLAGS@ EXTRA_libvte_la_SOURCES = keysyms.c And here is the original build error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -march=c3 -Os -pipe -march=c3 -Os -pipe -MT vteft2.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/vteft2.Tpo -c vteft2.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/vteft2.o In file included from vteglyph.h:30, from vteft2.c:32: /usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory In file included from vteft2.c:32: vteglyph.h:31:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> In file included from vteft2.c:32: vteglyph.h:64: error: parse error before "FT_Library" vteglyph.h:64: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union vteft2.c: In function `_vte_ft2_get_text_width': vteft2.c:237: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type vteft2.c: In function `_vte_ft2_get_text_height': vteft2.c:245: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type vteft2.c: In function `_vte_ft2_get_text_ascent': vteft2.c:253: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type vteft2.c: In function `_vte_ft2_draw_text': vteft2.c:295: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type vteft2.c:296: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.53_rc7 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.12-8-686 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-8-686 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre10 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=c3 -Os -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=c3 -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac alsa apm audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cle266 crypt cups dri dts dvd eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb gdbm gif glut gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib ipv6 jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mng mono mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline real sdl speex spell sse ssl svg tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vcd vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xv xvid xvmc zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS
It emerged fine on both of my modular X installs (one with the xorg-x11 meta, one without).
Ok, for some reason pango did not install pangoxft.pc, and causied the freetype headers to not be included. After an emerge -e world--and after upgrading to the new X snapshot--pangoxft.pc was installed and now vte compiles as it should. Sorry for the fluke bug. You can mark this as resolved.
